Walk Through The Bottomland Lyrics - Lovett Lyle

A new jersey lady i knew long ago 

And she was a lady i say 

But she met a cowboy who rode on the rodeo 

And he stole her heart straight away 

The new jersey lady she loved him so true 

Another love she never had 

But cowboys are lonesome and cowboys are blue 

And they make the ladies so sad 

Sing me a melody 

Sing me a blues 

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes 

The brazos she's running scared 

She heard the news 

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes 

The new jersey lady knew he loved her too 

And you know she tried to hold on 

But the rodeo life was the life that he knew 

He had to keep drifting along 

She never married and she never would 

And all of the people they'd say 

The new jersey lady she just ain't no good 

To follow a cowboy that way 

Sing me a melody 

Sing me a blues 

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes 

The brazos she's running scared 

She heard the news 

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes 

The lady she'd sing him to sleep in the night 

And then in the morning he'd go 

She loved the darkness and hated the light 

Along with that damn rodeo 

The new jersey lady the day that he died 

She covered him over with clay 

And feeling the wind in the night as she cried 

She heard the old cowboy say 

Sing me a melody 

Sing me a blues 

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes 

The brazos she's running scared 

She heard the news 

Walk through the bottomland without no shoes
